How Can You Up Your Calories When Your Stomach Is So Small?

Barely get in food....less than 500 calories..... But when I get my eat then drink I can't eat no more.... I take one bite and don't want more ..... So what do I do I think it's what's causing my stall....

Try to eat as much as possible wait about 30 minutes and try to eat some more. Eating frequent small meals works best for me.

Try to sip on protein shakes. I was losing too fast and my Dr. suggested drinking shakes between meals. It gets better I promise. :)

Yup, in the early days when you can't get much in splurge on the higher calorie, higher carb Protein shakes and mix them with milk or soy milk to up the calories even more. I recommend the Syntha-6 shakes for this - they're incredibly tasty but too high cal (and low protein) for me to drink daily. Also add two scoops (or 1.5) to about 12 oz. liquid to boost those calories and protein counts even more.

I found the easiest way for me was to drink the calories... I would stick to my Protein shakes though. There are a few that are higher calories, like EAS Myloplex.

Sometimes the only way to break a stall is to wait it out. I know how hard it is (I just broke a 3week stall) but sometimes you aren't doing anything wrong. Make sure you are getting in your protein, your Water and your Vitamin and try not to worry about the numbers. It can be difficult but it will break.

Good luck!
